I find myself confused by the switch from identity talk to agency talk. I like the point that identity is both over and underdiagnosed. I agree that it is good to act agenty in the scenarios you described. And I really like the advice to list out a bunch of examples of acting agenty (some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy books I’ve read recommend more generally to “keep track of the positive”). I’m just not seeing how the stuff about identity is connected to the stuff about acting agenty.
